Pour boiling water from the water tank
‹
over the tea.
NOTE
► The more tea leaves or tea bags and
the less water you fill the teapot, the
stronger the tea concentration will be
(professionals enjoy an infusion with
precise 2.86 g of tea in a cup). It is
preferable to use slightly more tea so
that a real concentration is produced
in the teapot.
Place the teapot with the tea con-
‹
centration on the water tank again.
The steam rising from the water tank
keeps the tea in the teapot at exactly
the temperature it needs to "steep".
After the desired steeping time, serve
‹
the tea from the teapot.
Pour the tea concentration from the
‹
teapot into your glass and top up with
water from the water tank. This allows
you to adjust the strength and taste of
your tea.
You can leave the teapot standing on
‹
the water tank while the appliance is
in operation so that you can add hot
tea and hot water at any time.
Turn the rotary knob to intermittent
‹
boiling (a little higher than the HOT
position but not until it stops) so that
the water remains hot without continu-
ing to boil. The indicator light goes on
and off intermittently.

Green tea
Green tea can also be brewed in the
Samovar. It should not normally be infused
with boiling water since it may then taste
slightly bitter. Depending on the type,
the ideal water temperature is between
50 °C – 70 °C. Most green teas develop
their optimum taste at around 70° C. The
higher the quality of the green tea, the
lower the optimum water temperature.
High-quality teas are brewed with hot wa-
ter at a temperature between
50 °C – 60 °C.
Normal green teas need to steep for ap-
proximately 1 - 3 minutes, whereas high-
quality green teas only need to steep for
approximately 1 - 1½ minutes.
NOTE
► If you use tea bags, add the number
as specified by the manufacturer.
The amount of green tea is always less
than black tea. Use roughly 1 g per 100 ml
or 1 level teaspoon for 200 ml water. You
can specify the strength of the concentra-
tion yourself.
To brew green tea, proceed as follows:
Boil the water in the water tank (see
‹
section Heating water, page 21).
Warm up the cups by filling them with
‹
a little hot water (the teapot was al-
ready warmed up by placing it on the
water tank during the boiling process).
Turn the rotary knob to the (8)
‹
position (according to the type of tea)
and allow the water to cool down
slightly (roughly 5 – 6 minutes).
